James T: CAT C+E (Artic) hazchem driver
Meet the drivers
I’ve been driving HGVs for over 20 years — 15 with CS Ellis — and even when I stepped away, I missed the freedom of the road. The industry’s come a long way, with higher standards and more focus on safety, especially in ADR and Hazchem work like my regular bromine runs. It’s demanding, but I take pride in being trusted with that responsibility. These days, I value time at home more, but I still love the job — the independence, the routine, and the pride in doing things right. Music, humour, and a steady attitude keep me going, and the best drivers I’ve known, like Mush, showed how calm professionalism makes all the difference. It’s not always visible work, but it matters — and I’m proud to do it well.
Meet a former ambulance driver
Brendan O’S: CAT C+E Night driver
Brendan’s journey into logistics started with a passion for driving. At school, he wanted to be an ambulance driver, which led him to volunteer with the Irish Red Cross. Along the way, he worked as a carpenter, construction worker, and civil engineer, but when the construction sector slowed, he saw an opportunity for long-term stability in transport and got back behind the wheel.
Outside of work, Brendan is a passionate paintballer, often playing with veteran friends living with PTSD. For them, it’s more than a game—it’s a way to connect, de-stress, and support each other.
